Chapter 1325: We Need to Focus on Agriculture!
Afterward, the two of them and the cat enjoyed a sumptuous meal, with everyone in high spirits.
Banker Soren did not explicitly state the purpose of inviting Su Yu over, only discussing the food.
It wasn't until more than 20 minutes later, when the food had been thoroughly appreciated, that Soren finally got to the point.
At the dining table, Banker Soren placed a dish resembling a cake in front of Su Yu and smiled, "Councilor Su Yu, the reason I invited you here today is actually to understand a bit more about the situation."
Hearing this, Su Yu instantly perked up, as they were finally getting to the main point!
He immediately adopted a posture of attentiveness.
Soren, however, remained unhurried, "Just yesterday, Jared's team reported their findings to the Core Committee. They found no issues during their investigation of the AI Blue Whale.
After deliberation, the Core Committee has decided to announce the results to the public in the next two days."
"I knew it would be like this. After all, the Blue Whale was a reward from the Hymn; how could it be fake?" Su Yu smiled.
Internally, he nodded in agreement. Blue Whale was right; Andrew Soren had indeed invited him because of the Blue Whale.
But if that was the case, then wouldn't it mean... the 4.2 trillion Psychic Coins would be transferred soon?
At this thought, Su Yu's eyes lit up.
Soren seemed to guess what Su Yu was thinking and smiled slightly, "That's correct. The 4.2 trillion Psychic Coins as stipulated in the agreement will be transferred to your account shortly. According to our contract, the transfer will be completed within 30 working days."
"That's great!" Su Yu's spirits soared.
With the money in hand, their plans could be put into action immediately!
Once back, he would contact the stone man, Leitdorf, and start buying in bulk!
"However..." Soren paused, looking thoughtful before asking, "Councilor Su Yu, as the Minister of Finance, please forgive me for being blunt, but why are you so short on funds?"
"Short on funds? Well..." Su Yu had already thought about how to answer this question.
Just as he was about to respond without hesitation, Soren waved a hand to interrupt him, "Don't use the planet's reconstruction as an excuse.
While the compensation for the Ascension War was previously paid by the Hymn, as a banking professional, I have a deep understanding of your situation.
I know that civilizations like yours, participating in the Ascension War for the first time, wouldn't be as short on funds as you are..."
Soren then picked a few typical civilizations and explained their situations to Su Yu in detail.
These civilizations had all won their first Ascension War in the past millennium, and Soren was well-informed about their financial statuses.
At the end of his explanation, he said, "Right after the war, these civilizations, though short on funds, had enough compensation to last them a long time.
Your Blue Planet's situation is a bit special. I heard you're building a resurrection artifact and reviving your people, right?"
"That's correct," Su Yu replied honestly.
Soren was not surprised by this, given that he had spent billions on materials, which could be traced by anyone with the inclination.
By analyzing the materials, anyone with a bit of analytical skill could deduce that he was building a resurrection artifact to revive his people.
"Your large-scale resurrection efforts require a lot of resources, which I can understand," Soren said kindly.
However, he then shifted his tone, "But even so, the expenses shouldn't be this enormous. If I'm not mistaken, even with 4.2 trillion, you still won't be completely satisfied, right?"
"Uh... Is that not allowed? Who doesn't like money?" Su Yu laughed, pretending to be clueless.
He picked up the cake in front of him and took a large bite, masking his embarrassment. Meanwhile, his mind was racing, trying to figure out how to respond.
Soren reined in his imposing presence and continued kindly, "It's not that it's not allowed. Since the fall of the Hymn, every faction wants more resources. However..."
Soren spoke earnestly, "Controlling a vast amount of resources is very dangerous; it can easily make you a target.
Currently, planetary estates in the Hub are generally worth around a billion. Leitdorf, whom you often deal with, is very good at business, but his wealth is just over a trillion.
And you? 4.2 trillion! Honestly, I can't say I'm not envious of such a sum."
Soren extended his hand, and a teapot-like container automatically poured a drink. The next second, a cup of deep green liquid appeared in front of Su Yu.
"As an elder, I must warn you. Controlling so much money is dangerous; you need to understand the cost."
"The cost?" Su Yu glanced at the dark green liquid in his hand.
The drink was very thick and had a pungent smell, and it didn't look particularly appetizing. He had no interest in it.
But since Soren had poured it, Su Yu took a sip and calmly said, "President, to be honest, I have a way to quickly use up this large sum of money.
You may not know, but our adventuring group has set a goal: to vigorously develop agriculture and focus on grain cultivation."
As he drank the beverage, Su Yu found it wasn't as bad as he had imagined. Despite its unpleasant smell, the drink was cool and refreshing, tasting like a thick version of mint and bamboo leaf water.
"Vigorously develop agriculture?" Soren was taken aback, almost thinking he had misheard.
He truly hadn't expected Su Yu to have such a plan.
Agriculture?
To be honest, who cared about agriculture? It was arguably the most saturated and least glamorous industry in the Hub.
"That's right," Su Yu said earnestly. "Recently, my subordinates have been diligently studying agricultural knowledge, and everyone is learning, without exception."
He had AI Blue Whale show Soren a few scenes from the past 20 days, depicting the high-level cultivators on Blue Planet gathered to study agricultural knowledge.
Soren scanned through the images and found that these people were indeed studying, and they were deeply engaged in their studies.
Especially in the last few days, they seemed to have become quite proficient.
This made Soren look at Su Yu with new respect, "You're really serious about agriculture! To be honest, I've never seen anyone approach it like this. You're the first among small civilizations!"
